RFN F-8 Crusader is out!!

Well guys, FSX will very soon be relegated to the basement with the other legacy sims like FS9, CFS1/2/3.

There is still a lot of potential in P3D (the 64 bit versions), but FSX is dead. It's just not known yet by the user base. That is not an opinion, it's a simple fact. 32 bit is dead.

Maybe so, but that won't stop some folks from using it anyway. As you can see, they still do here......
 
I have been testing it (primarily with P3D) and it is coming along very nicely.
If you thought the original version was excellent, this Tacpack version will blow your socks off.

These are some screenshots I made last week.....they are in P3D, but it pretty much looks and works just the same in FSX...

I think you are not too far off on this point. Also, I don't think any "military capability" will be available with the new MSFS anytime soon.

I test (using the same computer) in both FSX and P3Dv4.5.....and FSX struggles, especially since I have removed all of the static aircraft an the air bases I like to fly from and replaced them with AI.
FSX simply can't handle it but P3D runs it all like a champ.

You can't see all the other aircraft that are on the taxiways or waiting to take off at Da Nang AB, but it makes a very realistic environment.

With the advent of FSCAI, being able to handle AI becomes even more crucial for the simulator.

Just an observation here but I think FSX will soldier on much as FS9 has.

Simple reason: there are a large number of enthusiasts who have neither the resources to fund suitable equipment or commercial add-ons.
Many are using older generation systems that are not capable of handling P3Dv5 let alone MSFS.
Many are financially handicapped which limits their aircraft choices to freeware.
Sadly this is the way of the World for many, they probably would love a decent i5-i7-i9 system and a 1080-2080 GPU allied to decent bandwidth, but paying their RL bills is their priority.

Like I said, just an observation.

:encouragement:

Well, not ALL of us anyway! I still have a few years to reach the big 6-0! (That said I do plan to get a new rig, skip over P3D and dive into MSFS 2020 as it sounds like most of my nicer add ons will be able to migrate. Still plan on keeping FSX on this machine for flying the older stuff though.)

All true.

Add to that why should a freeware developer be expected to make stuff for a sim he doesn't use?

She looks great Sylvain. Looking forward to release.

You shouldn't have written this here! Because this is the FSX forum and not dead! :wiggle:

This base is available?

That is brilliant!! Any plans to bring it to MSFS??

Hi,
As far as military jets will not be covered by MSFS, I'll keep stick on FSX/P3D.
When I say "military" I mean "carrier navy" because without navops features my models (aircraft and ships) are without any interest to me!
And to be honest, I really like P3D rendering and I'm sure that the Crusader with a PBR VC(*) should look OK even compared to MSFS's average planes!
regards,
Sylvain

(*) I'm thinking about turning Crusader model to a P3D V4+ standard (including PBR) but it will happen only after having finished this current phase...Don't ask me what I'm including into this "phase" I even don't know myself... :adoration:

I actually find posts like this very offensive - keep your personal opinions to yourself instead of trying to railroad other users !
